Notes on TranslationThe electronic translation service on the Toronto Catholic District School Board's website is hosted by Google Translate. The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 50 languages, although an impressive number, this does not capture all languages or dialects. The basic translation’s goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material.

The Toronto Catholic District School Board does not guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of any translated information. Before you act on translated information, the Board encourages you to confirm any facts that are important to you and affect any decisions you may make.

The Toronto Catholic District School Board is committed to parent, family and community engagement, and it is our hope that by providing this tool on our website that we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English and thereby enabling better engagement in public education.

Mental Health and Well-Being Strategy

TCDSB’s commitment to student wellbeing and achievement figures prominently in its Board Learning Improvement Plan ( BLIP). TCDSB’s BLIP incorporates student well‐being and achievement as one of its primary system goals. This strategy is part of a larger board vision to craft safe, healthy, engaging and inclusive schools, and aims to support the overall TCDSB Board Learning Improvement Plan.

Student engagement is contingent to a large degree upon student mental health and wellbeing. Student mental health is inextricably tied to student engagement and achievement. This strategy recognises that mental health is critical in the promotion of student success and wellbeing. TCDSB’s Mental Health Strategy willendeavour to address this fundamental area in an effort to assist our students to reach their fullest potential.
